Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

HungaryOur room had one bed and one little nightstand. Not much space to pack our things down, so it was a bit messy to organize stuff. No small light in the room. Everyrhing was fairly clean. Good for the price and short term stays
Good location, close to public transport, hosts are nice and flexible, allowed us to put down our bags before check in. Provided info smoothly about checking in.

United KingdomThe room could do with a lamp, perhaps. This next point could totally be my personal view/preference. However, as its shared property, the other occupants were very noisy. I've stayed in shared accommodation in the past, but this was constant noise for a few hours. I will say the noise settled, not too late into the night, and I did manage to sleep well (with earplugs). But just a note, that it's a fairly compact property for it to be shared accommodation so if you're comfortable with the noise of others it will be ok.
The communal areas of the property were very clean and tidy. The room, also clean and the bed comfortable. The communication from the property owner was very clear and sent useful photos of the front of property that helped identify the property.

SlovakiaRooms were smaller than we expected. In rooms were missing some furtniture for example a little table, we had just small wardrobe with hanger. In the kitchen there were missing big spoons or forks. There was a soap for hands, but there was missing shower gel and shower gel for hair.
We have booked 2 rooms, which proportion price/quality - was good. The accomodation was clean and it was near to the bus station approximetly 5min, so good location. Also had clean kitchen with fridge. Positive point is also self service check in, check out. :)

LithuaniaI could hear the alarms in the morning of the rest of the neighbours 😅 So, it would be nice to improve the sound proof.
Its great for the price. A bit far away from the center, but the bus stop is a few blocks away and further is the underground, so is easy to travel around. The bathroom and kitchen were very clean. The best is that all doors have a code so you dont need any kind of key. Last, there is a place to leave luggage if you need to wait!

United KingdomIt's not the hotel services fault, but happened in the hotel so I have to mention it... Very noisy guests who spent their all afternoon in the hall on the entrance, playing games, cheering and making noise not be able to have a nap after a hard day when all I wanted just to have some rest. It seems not everyone can't show respect to others...
Very clean, quite place, comfortable bed.

GermanyThe room was rather functional, but that was okay. We couldn't find boards or knives in the kitchen which makes cooking hard.
Immediate and helpful reply from BedsToStay as we had a question, even though it was already a bit late in the evening. The facility including bathrooms was cleaned daily. The shower was nice.

United KingdomThere is a fridge in the room which was quite noisy. The cleaning could pay a little more attention to detail, E.g there was chewing gum on the floor just by the fridge.
Neat & tidy, bed was comfy, linen and towels were all clean, shower downstairs had great water pressure & nice & hot. Liked that I could store my bag and pop back for it later. It was nice and quiet when I stayed, but that’s obviously somewhat dependent on who else is staying.

GermanyPoorly equipped kitchen (no chopping knife, one frying pan, NO coffee making equipment, bad curtains which left in so much light (I need blackout), windows left open on ground level invites thieves, CCTV feels like an intrusion of privacy, Every door has a lock with an electronic keypad which makes so much noise every time someone wants to enter/exit (at least 5 beeps and a longer note), automatic sensor of light switches on at night which wakes up anyone else who is asleep in bed. Can it not be made to go inactive at night? A nightlight in the hall would be absolutely fine.
Good value, very clean, good location, easy access, washer and dryer, fridge space and so on. Friendly cleaning person.

Czech RepublicThe bed was too soft and uncomfortable, the room had a different disposition, and the fridge was just right beside the bed and head (we turned it off); there was a noise from other guests - so it depends how you're lucky, but for us, it was more a hostel-like experience. The kitchen was OK for heating food and making tea, but there was no sharp knife or cutting board, so don't expect to cook anything.
Good location and is easy to access (Mile End metro or Westferry DLR stop), Tesco Express, and Lidl just less than 5 mins on foot. Both whole apartment and room were very clean, although the bedding had some old dirt (not washed in a laundry) and was shrunk. It was OK value for the money, but the overall experience didn't meet our expectations for the price and reviews - it was more a hostel-like experience (except everybody had their room) than apartments - if it were a couple of bucks cheaper, it would be a great alternative.
